Jimmy Graham catches two passes against the Falcons.

Graham gained 13 yards on his two receptions in the Packers’ Week 14 victory. The veteran tight end has been held under 15 yards in three of the past five games, so he’s difficult to trust next week against a Bears team that held him to two receptions for eight yards back in Week 1.

Ito Smith gets 14 touches against the Packers.

Smith carried 11 times for 60 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards in the Falcons’ Week 14 loss. Smith received more touches and carries than Tevin Coleman (ten carries, one reception) in the game, so perhaps the team will get the rookie more work over the final three games to see what they have with Coleman set to become a free agent. Smith gets a good matchup against the Cardinals next week.

Rashaad Penny (ankle) is officially active for the Seahawks.

Penny was surprisingly listed as questionable when the final Week 14 injury report was released on Saturday, but he’s out there for this big Monday night matchup against the Vikings. The rookie running back isn’t a highly-recommended FLEX option for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.

Matt Ryan throws three touchdowns in Falcons’ Week 14 loss.

Ryan was 28/42 for 262 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception against the Packers in Lambeau Field. The Falcons offense started hot with a quick touchdown drive that ended with a 16-yard touchdown to Julio Jones on a drag route, but they couldn’t get any more points on the board until the fourth quarter. A comeback fell short, but Ryan threw a couple of fourth-quarter touchdowns (including another to Jones) to help make it a strong fantasy day. In between, Ryan threw a pick-six. The lost basically ensures the Falcons won’t be going to the postseason, but Ryan will still look to continue his great individual season next week against the Cardinals.

Eric Ebron scores in Week 14 victory.

Ebron caught four passes for 65 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown in the second quarter. It was the 13th touchdown in as many games this season for the former first-round pick, and he needs just four receptions and 58 yards to set career-highs in receptions (61) and yards (711). The Cowboys might have some success containing Ebron next Sunday after holding Zach Ertz in check, but he obviously needs to be in all lineups for Week 15.

Bobo Wilson catches one pass in Buccaneers’ loss.

Wilson gained eight yards on his lone reception in the Week 14 loss to the Saints. This was Wilson’s first reception of the season, so he’s off the fantasy radar for now.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling catches two passes in Week 14.

Valdes-Scantling gained 19 yards on his two receptions against the Falcons. The rookie receiver is difficult to trust in the second week of the fantasy playoffs next week versus Chicago.
